Editing Tricks (section)

== Cooking the Books with the Treasury ==
The [[Treasury]] can be extremely useful during long games on larger maps.  If you let your gold accumulate week to week, buying only essential troops and buildings, in a month or so your gold stockpile can mushroom to humongous levels (1 million gold or more).  The interest rate is equal to Treasuries Owned x 10%, so if you have 4
[[Rampart]] towns with Treasuries, that's 40% per week.  If you start with say 100,000 gold, with a daily income of 10,000, you will, after 4 weeks, indeed have over 1 million gold.  But the downside is that a [[Plague]] will kill off half of all unpurchased troops in your towns, so I'd start saving AFTER a Plague (as I've never seen two Plagues happen within 2-4 months of each other).  (On the contrary: I've seen a plague at the end of both Month 1 and Month 2, but it's very rare.  --[[user:Memetics|Memetics]])
